Fir is ok, they were worries because his pulse is low and that worried him...I pointed out his gym routine.

Upshot is he needs cardiac tests but not urgently, much to lots of nurses' annoyance.

Oh dear, sounds much more exciting than you would have wanted for this evening Glad it was a false alarm. What did you feed him?

Maggie, I have just looked up your Spanish design Moorcroft in one of my Moorcroft reference books and it was produced from about 1910 to early 1920. The book is entitled Moorcroft Pottery, A Guide to the Pottery of William and Walter Moorcroft 1897 to 1986 by Paul Atterbury Early pieces such as yours will be rare, valuable and desirable.

It's not indigestion. I was being unfair. They did however suggest it might be GERD. We had picky supper ...prawns , some grapes, some cucumber, few olives

Sounds far too exciting . Glad it is non urgent and he has been checked out. I hate it when it is my OH who is in trouble, it is easier for me when it is me.
When Mr S had a similar episode I was horrified that from triage they put him on a trolley and wheeled him directly into resuscitation. He normally has a very low heart rate, and as his pulse had dropped a little, from a triage perspective they thought he was in heart failure. Once he cottoned on to what was being said he was able to explin. The lead Consultant said they did not have many patients who went in with OHs symptoms climb off the trolley and walk out of resusc

I'm going through a bit of a Hugh Jackman phase at the moment Doozer. It used to be George Clooney and Jose Mourinho, but they have looked a bit older of late, if I'm allowed to say that being in the same age group.

Whatever!!!

Beards are weird. I like them but you can't look younger than 45, wearing a beard. Older if it's grey

Pfffffffffffffft

It's only 18 months since last April.

Mind you we'd lived there for almost 40 years so that will count a bit I hope.

Despite not paying Income Tax I have an Accountant to do the forms for me as I'm too cognitively impaired to do it myself. Most years I'm too cognitively impaired to even find the paperwork he needs to do it. <roll eyes smiley>

My very nice Accountant who was so kind to my parents retired last year, but the chap taking over has been going through his stuff with him over the last year. And the office is really close to DD2's home so good excuse to visit. There's no way I'm capable of dealing with HMRC, and OH hasn't had to do so yet as he's still on PAY. So between us we'll deffo need help with CGT. It's all very scary to me.

afaik it is straight-line pro-rated plus you get the extra 18 months and then you each have an allowance of just over 11k assuming you haven't used it elsewhere so I would have thought you will be fine.

Thanks for that. :T

It was a wedding gift to my paternal Grandmother, 1916. I remember it sitting on the dark wood mantelpiece over the fireplace in her house round the corner from us in North Harrow when I was small. We visited most Sundays. Even as a small child (from age 7 or so maybe?) I was fascinated by it, and struck by the colours.

My Grandmother died just after I married OH back in 1971 and when my Dad asked me what I'd like as a remembrance the Moorcroft chalice was what I chose. I love it still, love the subtle colours. I'm amazed it's survived our family life with loadsa cats (3 kittens arrived together at one occasion!).

Tis the only piece of Moorcroft I own. But have a load of other stuff from my parents that I should declutter - Crown Derby, Worcester, other bits and pieces. But it's hard to let go when memories bound up in them. Will be easy for my kids to let go as they don't have the memories. <roll eyes> But need to clear out the house it's too stuffed! :eek:

And after clearing my parent's place out, then helped a bit with MiL's I don't want to leave too much for our kids. But our house is now not only full of our clutter (we both tend to hang on to stuff) but my parents stuff and OH's Mum's stuff. We have to get shot of loadsa stuff.

But I'm keeping my Moorcroft chalice!

I adore Moorcroft. The colours are so vibrant. I have several vases; my favourite shape is 80/6 but I can't find a decent photo of my favourite vase in that shape (A tribute to Charles Rennie Mackintosh).
Have just spotted a new one, slightly bigger, 80/9, which I really want!
